From the Office of the Mayor

Firstly, I thank God for his many blessings and acknowledge our Region’s

Native Title holders. I would like to acknowledge our Elders past and present,

our spiritual leaders, my colleagues and fellow Councillors at TSIRC, our youth

and all of our constituents across the Torres Strait.

I am blessed to have this opportunity in continuing to celebrate our achievements and share the important work

we have done from the 2014-15 financial year. I look forward to building on these successes in the year ahead.

Budget Management, Sustainability and Asset Rehabilitation We had a strong 2014-15 financial year managing and delivering over $31 million in major capital works

projects. Stronger fiscal management meant that Council was able to deliver multiple projects across our

communities. These included:

• Major upgrades on community halls, sports stadiums and offices

• Major upgrades on airport runways, jetty’s and barge ramps

• Road upgrades

• Purchase and upgrades of fleet and plant

• Commenced building 6 of the 23 new houses being built in the next financial year

• Upgraded, repaired and maintained our existing stock of social housing

At our June Council meeting in Erub, we adopted our first-ever operating surplus of $1.4 million; from a $104

million budget for 2015-16 This achievement highlights our improved asset rehabilitation and debt recovery.

Looking forward, we will continue to build and focus on Council’s sustainability.

‘One Boat’ Governance Council continued to seek support, and consulted with relevant stakeholders to implement the One Boat vision,

an improved more efficient Regional Governance Model that will deliver genuine local governance for the

Torres Strait.

One Boat would absorb the roles, municipal responsibilities and powers of all of the Local Governments (TSIRC,

Torres Shire Council, Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council) and the Commonwealth statutory functions of

the Torres Strait Regional Authority. One Boat is a shared Regional vision with a coalition made up of the three

Local Government Mayors, including myself, Mayor Napau Pedro Stephen, Mayor Bernard Charlie and TSRA

Chair, Mr Joseph Elu.

Since 2013, I have continued to meet with senior officials and deputise

with both State and Government Ministers including: our former Prime

Minister, the Hon Tony Abbott MP; Local Member for Leichardt, the

Hon Warren Entsch MP, Minister for Indigenous Affairs the Hon Nigel

Scullion and local member for Cook, Billy Gordon MP. I also had the

opportunity to engage with Warren Mundine, Chair of the Indigenous


Advisory Council.

Minister Scullion showed his support for Torres Strait Islanders’ aspirations to improve governance

arrangements and said “I am a strong advocate for local communities and leaders including elected and

cultural leaders taking the lead and driving change without interference from Government. The One Boat

concept is such an initiative where the One Boat Coalition can drive change, providing real empowerment at

the local level.”

In this current 2015 - 16 financial year we will introduce a Transitional Committee so that One Boat can

progress. This can only be achieved with strong political support and will, of both the State and Federal

Government.

Strategic Focus and Alignment

As evidenced by the recent budget adoption, we significantly improved not only our economic standing, but

also Council’s governance structure and operations. As a result of this we are now in a much stronger position

to ‘turn the ship around’ and have been working towards developing a Transitional Action Plan to identify

administrative functions outside of our electorate that can be migrated back into our communities.

Transitional Action Plan and Organisational Capacity Building

Actions from the 2014-15 financial year period included improving educational and professional development

opportunities so that we continue to build capacity within our team.

Council recognise the necessity to provide ‘both ways’ capacity building so that we are not only sharing

technical skills, but also skill sets required to improve community service delivery and expand employment

choices. We will continue to strengthen our capacity building actions by measuring outcomes and evaluating

areas for improvement.

Council have established both a Technical Working Group (TWG) and a Strategic Advisory

Reference Group (SARG) to further develop Council’s strategic focus and align our business with both

Council’s Vision and Core Values.

Establishment of the Technical Working Group (TWG)

The TWG was formed in January 2015 as a forum to share information and collaboratively develop strategy

between the three tiers of Government (Local, State and Federal).

The 2013 – 2019, Whole of Government, Capital Works investment for the Torres Strait Region is $240 million.

TWG focus on Capital Works programs in the Torres Strait including:

• Land Use Planning

• Survey Networks

• Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA’s)

• Cultural Heritage

• Social Housing: new constructions, upgrades and leasing.

• Infrastructure: Water, Sewerage etc.

• Coordinated Service Delivery


• Employment and training

Membership for the TWG is made up of senior officials fromTSIRC, Torres Strait Regional Authority, Department

of Housing and Public Works and CEO’s from Local Government.

The Group is chaired by myself and Allen Cuneen (Co-Chair) from the Department of Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander Partnerships. We invite stakeholders from a broad range of services and Departments including;

State and Federal Government and entities, Health, Police and Education, Transport and Main Roads and Ergon

Energy.

Capital Works projects include: Seawalls Project, National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous

Housing (NPARIH), Government Employee Housing (GEH), Ergon Energy and Major Infrastructure Projects

(MIP5).

Strategic Advisory Reference Group (SARG) The Strategic Advisory Reference Group provides leadership on the strategic direction and vision for Council.

The Group acts in an advisory capacity to improve stakeholder engagement, Council operations and fiscal

management. The SARG will be guided by best practice to improve Corporate, Operational and Workplace

policies and planning.

Economic Development Initiatives Throughout my term as Mayor and during the 2014-15 financial year period I have been using every

opportunity to advocate for several initiatives that increase Economic Development opportunities, so that real

jobs are created for our people.

This includes calling for an Exemption on the Commonwealth WHS Accreditation Scheme so that businesses

in the Torres Strait can compete for the larger Commonwealth funded building and infrastructure projects,

which in its current form impacts significantly on both Council and local business. Council have also been

requesting that the Federal Government provide a Torres Strait Islands Freight Subsidy Scheme much like

what is given to Tasmania to ensure local businesses are competitive in the national market.

These key issues have been building and gaining momentum since my election back in 2008 and are critical in

that they not only contribute to Indigenous disadvantage, but also create barriers for real employment and

hinder our potential for true economic independence.

Torres Strait Islands Freight Subsidy Scheme On behalf of Council I lobbied our Governments to address the critical issue of the

disproportionally high cost of living in the Torres Strait. We know that improving

access and affordability to fresh produce, increasing access to health services

and providing adequate housing significantly improves our health and

wellbeing, lengthening life expectancy.

Torres Strait Islanders, on average, earn $25,000 less per year than people living

on mainland Australia, however we are paying up to three times more for the price

for food and petrol primarily due to the high cost of freight. Council have been lobbying


Government to implement a Torres Strait Island Freight Equalisation Scheme since 2008.

Tasmania has had a Commonwealth government funded Freight Equalisation Scheme in place since 1976. The

Tasmanian Scheme provides local industries with equal opportunities to compete in mainland markets,

recognising that unlike their mainland counterparts, Tasmanian shippers do not have the option of transporting

goods interstate by road. As our Islands in the Torres Strait are separated by 42,000 square kilometres of water,

we too are in the same boat. Our sea is our national highway everything is sent from Port to Port.

Freight costs contribute significantly to the high cost of living and is arguably the greatest impediment to

achieving economic development on a local, state, national and international level for Torres Strait Islanders.

Exemption for Commonwealth Work Health and Safety (WHS) Accreditation Scheme Another major barrier for our people and our local businesses in achieving economic independence is the

unaffordable costs associated with the Australian Government Building and Construction Work Health and

Safety Accreditation Scheme. The scheme is a mandatory requirement to compete for major infrastructure

development opportunities in excess of $4 million.

Our local businesses have ticked off all State regulatory requirements; they already build to code, and have the

capacity and machinery to engage in the larger contracts but are unable to do so because of this Scheme.

If this Scheme is not made exempt, it will have the very opposite effect on the opportunities that the Northern

Development Package is seeking to achieve. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities will not achieve

Economic Development unless this happens.

I continue to question the National Development Package and its claims of stimulating the economy and

creating jobs. How will the Torres Strait even get a look in, if the true impacts of the WHS Accreditation Scheme

are not even considered?

The WHS Accreditation Scheme is a massive obstacle in the path of true economic development for our

people. These issues will continue to be raised at every opportunity in this current financial year until they are

addressed.

In closing, Council looks forward to firmly establishing itself as an emerging leader in the Local Government

sector. Council aims to be visionary in empowering our people to lead the change we want.

God Bless

Mayor Frederick Gela

CEO's foreword

As I reflect on this year, the third year of this Council’s term, it is

encouraging to note that our efforts and actions leading up to

this point are really starting to realise momentous gain. With

Council’s $57M capital works program, some of the longer

term and larger programs continuing into future financial

years will deliver much needed infrastructure to support our

communities and deliver critical services.

Several extensive programs stretching across multiple financial years primarily include the National

Partnership Agreement for Remote Indigenous Housing (NPARIH) program, Seawalls and the Major

Infrastructure Program. Additional annual work programs included transport and recreational and

community infrastructure projects funded either solely by Council or in partnership with other key

stakeholders have mainly focussed on revitalising communities in support of continuing cohesiveness

as well as health and wellbeing. Our asset base has been enhanced and extended as a result of the

additions from the capital works program.

Council is also focussed on further strengthening its asset management capability, particularly in line

with the more strategic approach being endorsed by the Audit Committee but more broadly

affecting all public sector entities and particularly local government. As many of our assets reach the

latter portion of their useful lives and funding for replacement becomes harder to source, council is

needing increasingly accurate processes and information to make informed decisions on the future

asset strategies to maximise return on investment. Flow-on effects of operating costs such as

depreciation, insurance and other asset maintenance costs play a key role in council's sustainability

measures into the future.

It has and continues to be a busy time with land related matters with key native title, leasing and

divestment decisions as council begins remodelling itself in addressing various governmental reforms

and other influences. Our challenge now is to monitor our environment, assess potential impacts and

deliver effective and innovative solutions in meeting the critical needs of our communities and more

broadly the region.

Council, along with other regional stakeholders, continues to collaboratively drive economic change

and employment opportunities through the region. We are also working to ensure that key projects,

challenges and opportunities are communicated with our constituents and other key stakeholders to

ensure effective community engagement in this and other critical areas. Through regular


consultations and Council’s relaunched ‘Strait Talk’ Newsletter, we aim to keep our constituents up to

date on Council business and improve stakeholder engagement.

Within Council, we have established a largely new executive team, with newly appointed staff into the

key executive roles in Corporate Services, Engineering Services and Financial Services. Early in the

2015 calendar year, Council’s continuing efforts have been realised with the implementation of the

Torres Strait Island Regional Council Certified Agreement 2015 - 2017, investing in our people in line

with our core value of being an employer of choice.

Our training strategy is also targeted at broader

capacity building to engender transferrable skills

across a multi-disciplinary workforce. Council has

been fortunate enough to promote employees into

senior management positions as a direct result of this

approach and I look forward to and will continue to

strongly support future opportunities for cross-skilling of our

diverse workforce.

Empowering our people, in our decision, in our culture, for our future

Other pivotal areas of investment across Council include building, finance, Information Technology,

tenancy management, safety and Human Resources areas and provide a strong and suitable

workforce that not only provides for our current priorities but can really start to look at longer term

goals identified as Council’s key strategic objectives.

About the Torres Strait Island Regional Council

The Torres Strait Island Regional Council is one of two local councils found in the Torres Strait. The

Torres Strait Islands are scattered between the tip of Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula and Papua

New Guinea.

Council represents the 15 outer island

communities of Badu, Boigu, Dauan, Erub

(Darnley Island), Kirirri (Hammond Island),

Iama (Yam Island), Kubin Community at Moa

(Banks Island), Mabuiag, Masig (Yorke Island),

Mer (Murray Island), Poruma (Coconut Island),

Saibai, St Pauls Community at Moa (Banks

Island), Ugar (Stephen Island) and Warraber

(Sue Island).

Council was formed in 2008, as part of the

State Government’s amalgamation policy, as

an entirely new local council governed under

the Local Government Act (Qld). Prior to this,

the area was under the jurisdiction of the

Community Services (Torres Strait) Act 1984

(Qld) and each community had its own

independent Island Council.

Council is made up of a Mayor, 15 Councillors, a Chief Executive Officer and employees. The Mayor

is elected ‘at large’ or by the whole council region. The Mayor presides over Council meetings and

represents the organisation at formal occasions. The Deputy Mayor also makes sure the Chief

Executive Officer carries out Council decisions.

Our Councillors are democratically elected, with one for each of our 15 electorate communities.

Councillors make decisions on facilities, services and local laws and work to continually understand

and fulfil community aspirations.

The Council administration arm has offices throughout its region, as well as at Waiben (Thursday

Island) and in Cairns. The administration is made up of a Chief Executive Officer and staff with

experience in areas such as engineering, human resources, finance, environmental health,

construction, law, communications, administration and much more. It is the job of the administration

arm to implement Council policies and decisions and to keep councillors informed. Council is one of

the major employers in the Torres Strait. !

Engineering Services

Council’s Engineering Department has had a successful 2014-15 financial year,

delivering several major projects including the construction of the Poruma

Sewerage Scheme and upgrade to several roads at Kirriri (Hammond) and Moa.

Our Engineering Services team continues to build capacity by providing

ongoing training and providing professional development opportunities to

staff in our communities.

Capital Works In November 2014, the link-road between Kubin and St Pauls communities was

sealed and pavement upgrades were completed by our team to improve safety and access

between the two communities. The upgrade has also significantly reduced travel time.

A local contractor was engaged to construct several roads on Kirriri (Hammond Island) and install

solar streetlights on the wharf to improve community safety to the jetty and barge ramp area"at night.

The works supported local economic growth and strengthened local capacity for future projects.

Council acknowledges the financial support from ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Transport

Infrastructure Development Scheme’ (ATSI TIDS) of Department of Transport and Main Roads, and

‘Heavy Equipment Machinery Training Program’ (HEMTP) – a TSRA program, for providing additional

funding for these projects.

Seawalls


The Torres Strait Seawalls Project builds necessary infrastructure to protect communities against rising

sea levels and continuous erosion. The Project is jointly funded by State and Federal (including TSRA)

governments. Work has commenced in Saibai and a separate wall was constructed around the

cemetery to prevent flooding during the annual king tides. Council’s Building Service Unit (BSU)

engaged local contractors and managed the construction works.

Water and Sewerage Council engaged Northern Water for a Desalination and

Maintenance Contract in July 2014. This means a bi-annual

service run and inspection of all desalination units in

operation by Council. This will help minimise downtime of

the desalination plants and help secure water production.

Council commenced in-house E. coli testing in a laboratory

constructed in our Engineering Office on Thursday Island. The one-

year trial consists of three communities sending their monthly water samples to Thursday Island

instead of Cairns for E. coli testing. The training for the use of the E. coli testing equipment and

procedures took place in early December of 2014. Engineering Services developed their own written

procedures to train staff in community.

Construction and commissioning of the Poruma Sewerage Scheme was completed in December

2014.

Tender evaluation and engagement for a Project Manager for all TSIRC Major Infrastructure Program

Round 5 (MIP5) projects was completed in January 2015. MIP5 projects include a Regional Telemetry

(Remote equipment monitoring and control) Implementation Project and a Regional Water and

Sewerage Upgrade Project.

Council is very pleased to see four of our apprentices graduated as licensed provisional plumbers.

Plumbers: Billy Dau, Boigu Island; Albert Bann, Iama, George Mosby, Poruma and Wabay Marou, Mer

Island will continue to be provided with opportunities to work with Council’s licensed plumber, and

Building Section to gain practical plumbing work experience, and have since provided their expertise

to work on Council projects, including a water tank upgrade at Mer.

Infrastructure Engineering Officers completed Line Marking at Poruma Aerodrome so that aircraft can land safely.

Construction of a Waiting Shed at Mer Airport was completed at the end of July 2015.

David Baldwin | Executive Manager Engineering Services


Financial Services

Considerable progress was made this year as the Financial Services team

focused on business improvement projects and bedded down a new

departmental structure. With a focus on supporting council to deliver its

organisational outcomes through stewardship, governance and innovative

business solutions the following significant achievements were made

during 2014-15:

• Successful QAO Audit Result

• Debt Recovery Strategy reviewed and implemented

• Refined and implemented stronger budgeting principles and process

• Alignment of capital expenditure decisions with budget reviews

• Implementation of Council’s Certified Agreement

Further focus on developing the maturity of Council’s budgeting cycle and principles throughout

2014 - 15 has enabled alignment of capital expenditure decisions with Council’s long-term financial

planning documentation. Strengthening this link will continue throughout 2015 - 16 to balance

financial sustainability and the aspirations of our communities.

The latter part of 2014 - 15 saw the review and strengthening of Council’s debt recovery practices.

Central to this improvement practice has seen Council engage an external debt recovery agency to

assist with timely debt recovery. The 2015 - 16 year will see the Finance Department continue this

focus, working collaboratively with department representatives across the organisation and with

Council’s debtors, to establish binding payment arrangements to

strengthen Council’s cash flow and sustainability.

Overarching these achievements has been our

commitment to a continuous improvement focus, by

supporting and building capacity and sharing

methodologies and experience across the department

and throughout the Council and Community.

Melissa Barmettler | Executive Manager Financial Services


Community Services

Council’s Community Services Department develop, manage and deliver

a broad range of Community and Public Health services. In the 2014-15

financial year the department’s priority was to provide improved service

delivery across a broad range of programs including; Council’s

management of rental debt, Animal Management programs, Home and

Community Care Services.

Community Services continued to create sustainable Health and Wellbeing

programs for our communities and employees. The Department also worked towards the

implementation of the new Commonwealth Home Support Program for the upcoming financial year.

Housing Council has the responsibility of tenancy management of 14 communities in the Torres Strait region.

Council is required to maintain its Registered Housing Provider status, and has been working closely

with Q-Shelter on the registration process. Council continues to work in collaboration with the

Department of Housing and Public Works to enable compliance with the ‘Indigenous Housing

Programs Assistance Agreement for the Delivery of Housing Services’

" Health and Wellbeing Program

The 2014-15 Health and Wellbeing program focused on creating

sustainable programs in the communities Healthy Lifestyle

Officers (HLOs) are based. Strait Smile, a school-based

program, funded with the Torres Strait Regional Authority

(TSRA), focused on oral health prevention. Our Healthy

Lifestyle Officers collaborated with Tagai Campuses on

the island to implement the Strait Smile Program.

Council partnered with the Indigenous Cardiac Unit with

Prince Charles Hospital and Fitnance to support nine of our

Healthy Lifestyle Officers receive a Cert III in Fitness and

Nutrition. The HLO’s are now qualified group instructors, with the

confidence to conduct small group fitness programs in their communities. Council also partnered with

Cairns Taipans and Queensland Rugby League to deliver additional community programs.

Community Services Council employs a team of 31 staff to deliver additional Community Services across the local

government area comprising of: Early Childhood Services (Child Care, After School Care and

Vacation Care); Home and Community Care (HACC) and Indigenous Knowledge Centre’s (IKC’s)


Our Early Childhood Services provide high-quality child-care for very young children aged up to 3.5

years at Aragun Child Care Centre – Badu Island and school-aged care for children at the Hammond

Island After School Care Centre.

Council’s Early Childhood Educational Programs work with families to develop age appropriate

educational programs in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework – Being, Belonging,

Becoming (Child Care) My Time, Our Place (School Age Care). Home and Community Care Services deliver services for people of all ages with a disability to assist

them to remain at home and prevent inappropriate or premature admission to residential care. Services that Council delivers include; Domestic Assistance, Personal Care, Meals, Respite, Social

Support, Transport, Client Care Coordination, Equipment use and Home Modifications.

A partnership between Council and State Libraries Queensland assist our Indigenous Knowledge Centres to deliver new

technology, literacy and learning programs to empower our

communities through shared learning experiences and work

with communities to preserve local knowledge, culture and

heritage, keeping our culture strong for generations.

Environment and Health Council delivers Environmental Health and Animal Management services throughout the local

government area under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Public Health Program with

assistance through funding by the Queensland Government.

Council currently employs a team of 21 staff to deliver

Environmental Health services to the community. Key areas of

service delivery include Animal Management, Food Safety and

Awareness, Health Promotion, Compliance and Enforcement

and Pest Management.

The Environmental Health Program supports capacity building and

professional development of its Environmental Health employees through

mentoring, tertiary education, and in-house training.

David Abednego | Executive Manager Community Services


Building Services Unit

The 2014/2015 financial year has again been a very busy and successful year for Council’s Building

Services Unit (BSU). We have continued to focus on the provision of Repair and Maintenance (R&M)

and Capital Upgrade (including new construction) works/services to Council’s social housing assets

and building infrastructure stocks.

All BSU operations are undertaken in complete compliance with the Council’s Operational Plan, and

fully meet the Council’s objectives in respect of the provision of healthier communities, enhanced

wellbeing, and improved living standards.

The BSU has consistently delivered all of its fundamental services in the most appropriate, efficient,

and cost effective manner as well as satisfying the work completion time frames nominated by State

and/or Federal Government funding Departments.

Our 2014/15 operational budget was developed to adequately meet (and satisfy) the anticipated

works and major projects of our primary funding body (the Building & Asset Services component of

DHPW), to enable BSU to respond pro-actively to the R&M needs of Council’s social housing tenants,

and ultimately, generate an additional untied revenue stream for Council to use at its own discretion.

Overall, in the 2014/15 financial year, the BSU generated revenue in the order of $21M and

expended some $15M in performing its various R&M and Capital Works engagements.

Our capacity to provide quality and cost-effective outcomes, combined with an expanded knowledge

and experience base within our staffing resources, enabled BSU to confidently expand into the arena

of construction of new residential houses. During the 2014/15 reporting year, the BSU tendered for,

and successfully secured, two separate “design and construct” residential housing contracts – one

under the NPARIH program and one under the R&R program. The combined contract value of these

two contracts was in excess of $9.3M ex GST. Upon completion of construction, a total of 13

individual new residential housing units (consisting of detached houses and duplexes located at

Boigu, Saibai, Iama, Hammond, and St Pauls) will be added to the Council’s rental stock.

Of further major significance, BSU tendered for, and secured, an infrastructure works contract with the

Department for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships (DATSIP) for “TSIRC Minor

Plumbing Works” at an initial contract value of $1.7 M. This project involves the clearing of over-

growth/vegetation over existing mains, the provision of water meter services and sewer connection

points to existing selected lots, and extending sewer/water mains reticulation networks through

selected streets. The contract includes works on Badu, Mer, Poruma, St Pauls, & Warraber.


Looking forward, the future looks bright – the BSU will continue to pro-actively meet its R&M and

Capital Works engagements and provide value-for-money results and outcomes particularly targeting

improved living standards for the constituents of the Torres Strait Island Regional Council.

Divisional Offices

We are responsible for over 60 positions, across our 15 divisional offices. Our team are prioritising

community service delivery and are working towards becoming more self-sufficient through better

management of revenue. We have also been working hard to improve stock and asset control, and

our reporting and reconciliation processes.

"

Training and Professional Development ranging from

in-house training to Certificates, Diploma’s and

Degrees are one of the benefits of working with

Council. Council encourages and fully supports all of

our staff to gain accredited training so we can continue

to build capacity and skills stay in our communities.

In this financial year we worked towards creating clear promotional pathways for our staff to fill more

senior roles."This resulted in identifying Cluster Managers so that Divisional Managers and their teams

received additional support on ground; staff are now better equipped to provide an effective and

efficient service for our people of the Torres Strait. Our divisional teams fully support our Council

vision of ‘Empowering our people, in our decision, in our culture, for our future.’

Internal Audit

In line with the requirements of the Local Government Act 2009 and its supporting regulations,

Council’s Audit Committee consists of two Councillors and two external members, one of whom is the

Audit Committee Chair.

The two Councillor positions were held by Cr Fred Gela (Mayor) and Cr Ted Nai (Masig). The external

members of the committee were Eric Muir (also the Audit Committee Chair) and David Edgerton.

Under its Charter the Committee is responsible for the financial oversight of the Council’s activities

and Risk Management processes as well as review and follow up of audit issues raised by both

internal audit and QAO.

Evaluating activities and controls

The Internal Audit department operates in accordance with the Internal Audit Charter and Internal

Audit Procedure. It sets out the mandate, roles and responsibilities of the internal audit function. It

outlines the dual reporting line of the Principal Internal Auditor, to the Audit Committee and the

Chief Executive Officer. Council’s internal audit activity over the medium-term is managed via a three-

year Strategic Internal Audit Plan, while the specific internal audit activities performed each year are

outlined in the Annual Internal Audit Plan. These plans were reviewed and endorsed by the Audit

Committee in October 2013 and June 2014 respectively.

During 2014-15, Council’s internal audit department was staffed by one full-time employee. The

internal audit department provides an independent and professional review, established to evaluate

the risks and controls associated with Council’s activities, processes and systems. By reviewing

Council’s risks, internal controls, efficiency, effectiveness, governance, performance and compliance,

internal audit aims to provide assurance that the Council and its management are discharging their

responsibilities effectively and efficiently.

Internal audit reports to the Audit Committee were reviewed at the following meetings held during

2014-15:

• August 2014;

• October 2014;

• February 2015;

Community Financial Report

This Community Financial Report shows a summary of the Financial Statements with the aim of

providing understandable information to the members of our community. The use of plain language

and pictorial aids such as graphs and tables, allows readers to easily evaluate Council’s financial

performance and financial position.

The Community Financial Report is prepared in accordance with Section 179 of the Local

Government Regulation 2012. Council’s full Financial Statements and accompanying notes can be

found within the Annual Report. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with

Australian Accounting Standards and complies with the requirements of the Local Government Act

2009 and the Local Government Regulation 2012.

The Financial Statements in this report cover a 12 month period ending 30 June 2015. The Financial

Statements contained in this report include:

• Statement of Comprehensive Income – measures how Council preformed during the year.

The statement displays Council’s revenue and expenses with the resulting profit or loss

amount known as the Net Result. This also displays Council’s other comprehensive income.

• Statement of Financial Position – shows what Council owns (assets), what Councils owes

(liabilities) and Council’s net worth (community equity). Total community equity is equal to

total assets minus total liabilities. Community equity can be a reflection of how healthy the

position of Council is at a given point in time. The more Council’s asset value is higher than

Council’s liabilities, the better the position of Council.

• Statement of Cash Flow – reports how revenue received and expenses paid impact on

Council’s cash balances.

• Statement of Changes in Equity – presents a summary of transfers to and from community

equity accounts including retained earnings and asset revaluation surplus.

• Notes to the Financial Statements – provide a detailed breakdown of all significant items in

the Financial Statements and what these items represent.

• Long-Term Measures of Financial Sustainability – presents three sustainability indicators

which have been set by the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning, to

help monitor the long-term sustainability of Council’s across Queensland.


Understanding Council’s financial performance

(Statement of Comprehensive Income)

Operating Position: Council’s operating position reflects the Council’s ability to meet its day-to-day running costs from

operating revenue. This includes Council’s ability to fund the future acquisition and replacement of

assets.

The operating position is calculated using the formula:

Operating revenue – Operating expense = Operating Surplus (Deficit)

This calculation does not include revenue or expenses for capital projects. This graph shows the

operating position of Council over the past five years.

Council’s operating position for the year ended 30 June 2015 is a deficit of $27,415,916. While a

negative result is not desirable, accounting depreciation has had a significant impact on Council’s

operating result. Accounting depreciation of $40,065,248 is listed as an expense in order to account

for the use or deterioration of community assets over the expected life of each asset. Council is

undertaking a comprehensive review of remaining useful lives during 2015-16 to ensure the best

value and longest life is achieved for each asset.


Sourcing our revenue Identifying our expenses Where our money comes from Where our money goes

Council received $59,981,664 of operating revenue during 2014-2015. Sales revenue continues to be

the major source of income equating to $24,731,228 or 41.23% of total revenue. Another significant

source of revenue is grants, subsidies, contributions and donations providing $23,025,071 of revenue

or 38.39% of total revenue. The remaining operating revenue for Council is sourced from community

levies, rates and charges, fees and charges, rental income, interest revenue and other income.

Council’s operating expenses for the 2014-2015 financial year totalled $87,397,580. The major

expenses as depicted in the graph above are depreciation and amortisation costs at 45.84%,

materials and services at 29.53% and employee benefits at 21.44%.

Council is actively working to reduce its operating expenditure by identifying efficiencies and

ensuring value for money on purchases.

Net result: Council’s net result reflects total revenue less total expenses, this includes capital revenue and

expenditure however does not include any adjustments for asset revaluations.

The net result is calculated using the formula:

(Operating + Capital revenue) – (Operating + Capital expenses) = Net result The net result for 2014-2015, as reported in the Financial Statements is a deficit of $15,017,167. This

result includes the following major items:

• $23,025,071 of operating grants, subsidies, contributions and donations received by various

Government agencies to assist with the day to day running costs of the Council.

• $9,883,057 of Community Housing assets contributed by the Department of Housing and

Public Works. The value of these assets are accounted for as non-cash revenue. TSIRC ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 15 !30

• $40,065,248 of accounting depreciation expense. The value of depreciation is accounted for

as a non-cash expense.

Understanding our financial position (Statement of Financial Position)

Assets: what we own Council’s assets as at 30 June 2015 total $703,651,853. This includes $32,014,438 of current assets

(liquid assets or amounts due to be received within twelve months) and $671,637,415 of non-current

assets. The most significant component of our assets is our investment of $665,624,385 in property,

plant and equipment in our region. This is equivalent to 94.74% of total assets.

Current assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivable, inventories and other

financial assets. Non-current assets consist of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other

financial assets.

Trade and other receivables reflect outstanding housing and commercial debts payable as at 30 June

2015.

Liabilities: what we owe Council’s liabilities include loans, amounts owed to suppliers, amounts owing to employees for leave

entitlements and provision for future expenditure such as landfill restoration costs. Council’s total

liabilities were $10,774,614 as at 30 June 2015. This includes $6,220,677 of current liabilities (due to

be paid out within twelve months) and $4,553,937 of non-current liabilities.

Trade and other payables represent the largest component within Council’s liabilities (49.32%) and

consist of trade creditors, employee entitlements, GST payable and refundable bonds.

Borrowings consist of a loan from Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC). Council’s borrowings are

discussed further in the Queensland Treasury Debt section.


Assets Liabilities What the community owns What the community owes

Community Equity: net worth of council Community equity is calculated using the formula:

Assets (what we own) – Liabilities (what we owe) = Community Equity

Council’s total community equity as at 30 June 2015 is $692,877,239. Asset revaluation surplus

represents $154,268,960 of total equity and relates to the increase in values of property, plant and

equipment.

Queensland Treasury Debt

Queensland Treasury Corporation is the State Government owned lending agency from which most

local governments and state agencies within Queensland borrow to finance infrastructure projects. At

the end of the financial year, Council owed Queensland Treasury Corporation a total of $378,198.

This financial year Council did not undertake any new borrowings.

Council manages its debt in accordance with its Debt Policy. The policy states:

• No use of long term debt to finance operating activities or recurrent expenditure;

• Priority will be given in any borrowing program to income producing assets;

• The ratio of Interest and Redemption to Grant Income should remain less than ten (10)

percent.

Principal and interest repayments are made on these borrowings on a monthly basis in accordance

with the terms and conditions set by Queensland Treasury Corporation. The repayments terms are

reviewed on a regular basis in order to ensure that the expected loan term aligns with market

movements.

Financial Sustainability Ratios

Responsible financial management is crucial for Council to ensure it is financially sustainable for the

short, medium and long term.


The Community Financial Report contains three measures of financial sustainability used to

demonstrate Council is operating in a prudent financial manner whilst maintaining its financial

management objectives in accordance with Section 178 of the Local Government Regulations 2012.

The target range for the financial ratios is set in accordance with Department of Infrastructure, Local

Government and Planning Financial Management (Sustainability) Guideline 2013. There are

circumstances specific to Council where actual results many vary from the target range.

The following table shows actual historical ratio values for the last two financial years. Forecast ratios

for the next nine years are included in the Long Term Financial Sustainability Statement contained

within the audited Financial Statements.

Conclusion

During the 2014/2015 financial year, Torres Strait Island Regional Council recorded a substantial

operating deficit. This deficit is primarily driven by the recognition of accounting depreciation. At

present, the revenue streams of Council are not adequate to cover operational costs (including

depreciation) of Council.

Council remained committed to improving its long term sustainability, using strategies like the long

term forecast, annual operational planning and conducting regular budget reviews.

Further details and breakdowns of all of the above items can be found in the audited Financial

Statements and the detailed notes to the Financial Statements.

Financial Management Strategy

Council has undertaken a number of long term financial planning initiatives since the time of

amalgamation. These have included:

• Development and regular update of Councils Long Term Financial Model;

• Divestment of non-core Local Government Services to the Community;

• Implementation of a rigorous Debt Management Policy;

• Identification and valuation of all Council assets;

• Development of Asset Management Plans for all asset classes;

• Implementation of cashless divisional offices; and generally

The Council has made further long term financial management decisions. The Long Term Financial

Plan and subsequent strategy for Council is to:

• Maximise own source revenue initiatives including strengthening the Debt Recovery process;

• Concentrate on delivering a surplus budget (before depreciation).

• Deliver on Asset Management Plan strategies and goals where funding allows Council to do

so; and

• Continue to lobby Federal and State Governments to free up funds for further Asset

Management Plan initiatives.

The relevant measures of financial sustainability identified above have been calculated in accordance

with Councils long term financial management plan.
